Don't read this if you really don't want to know
what's in pet food, because it's GROSS. I will never
use 'by-product' again. Note the correction at the
bottom of the article in the link.

EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT: PET FOOD RECIPE?
SOURCE: Cornwall's Voice For Animals, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[From my friend on myspace] 3/22/07, Gayle writes: My brother has actually
been to the [MENU FOODS] plant in Columbia/Lexington, South Carolina. (He
automates machinery and they bought machinery from the company my brother
works for.) He said it was DEPPLORABLE! Upon entering the road to the plant,
there are barrels lined up, starting at the street. People from nearby areas
bring their dead pets, cattle, road kill and shelters (their euthanized
animals) and dump them in the barrels. The barrels are then taken inside the
plant where the carcasses are boiled. They pull out the larger bones to
resell as pet bones. The meat, hide, small bones and fur are ground up and
sold as pet food to the companies on the recall list. My brother said the
smell at that place is unbearable. He could not stay there because of the
smell and knowing how they made the pet food. He said he could not stop from
gagging... He said they also use rotten fish from the grocery store, old
dead chickens. After his trip to that plant, he began making his own dog
food for his dog
